[General] How to Paint your Brake Calipers - While Still Attached to the Car

[easycalipers]

Good Post Easycalipers.

Don't worry about the opinionated. Everyone's got one but if your happy with your painting method then that's all that matters.

Have you got any methods and type of paint to coat the exposed disc (not the friction surfaces before someone harps in) surfaces that turn rusty orange behind your lovely wheels?
I've tried high temp paint once which lasted for a while but eventually peeled.

Thx


REGARDING THE RUSTY DISK HUBS

I helped someone out today with the exact same problem.

I will post a how to for you !

Just thought id share this with you guys.

Recently restored some Brembo Calipers which were taken off the car and we ended up using 2pack paint for the job. wow 2pack clear coat is incredible.

Pick Included

Hey man. Good write up. Just a few things I would suggest you do differently. If the brakes aren't rusty don't wire brush them, you will most likely see the stratches through the paint! A bit of a prepsole wash should do fine and if you use a scotch bright it will scuff it up and be less coarse to paint over. Also giving them a coat of etch would keep the paint sticking to the calliper allot longer.
